Hazmat-Clad Protesters Hit London Fashion Week Over Exotic Skins (3 pictures)
View All Images- 18th September 2020 - As conservation experts warns that the trade in exotic skins risks fuelling the spread of diseases like COVID-19, a trio of PETA supporters wearing bright yellow hazmat suits and gas masks descended on London Fashion Week today to call on designers to drop exotic skins from their collections. The exotic-skins industry causes animals tremendous suffering and now, we know it also causes deadly diseases, says PETA Director Elisa Allen. "PETA is calling on Burberry and other British brands to shun this toxic material or risk the bad look of helping to bring about the next deadly pandemic." The COVID-19 pandemic is believed to have originated in a Chinese market where wild and exotic animals, both alive and dead, are sold. The intensive farming of exotic animals for both their flesh and their skins poses a risk of the animal-to-human transmission of newly evolved viruses. Exotic-animal farms are a breeding ground for pathogens and increase the risk of future pandemics. Photo Credit: ALPR/AdMedia
